A common use-case is to build all boards for a particular SoC. This can
be achieved by:
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra20
However, when the SoC is a member of a family of SoCs, and each SoC has
a different name, it would be even more useful to build all boards for
every SoC in that family. This currently isn't possible since buildman's
board selection command-line arguments are compared to board definitions
using pure string equality.
To enable this, compare using a regex match instead. This matches
MAKEALL's handling of command-line arguments. This enables:
(all Tegra)
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra
(all Tegra)
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev '^tegra.*$'
(all Tegra20, Tegra30 boards, but not Tegra114)
./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev 'tegra[23]'

There are a few make options such as BUILD_TAG which can be provided when
building U-Boot. Provide a way for buildman to pass these flags to make
also.
The flags should be in a [make-flags] section and arranged by target name
(the 'target' column in boards.cfg. See the README for more details.

This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it
with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report
which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It also
shows differences in image sizes due to particular commits.
Buildman aims to make full use of multi-processor machines.
Documentation and caveats are in tools/buildman/README.
